56 Up - 2012 - 9/10
Eighth installment of outstanding Up documentary series, which began in 1963 with 7 Up.
The children are now 56. As theorized, the personality of the child very much predicted the adult. The other notions, such as class separation, did not hold as much. Privilege helped, though not always. Likewise, many of the East Enders climbed far.
At their current age, none of them allowed themselves to be baited, goaded or bullied by director Apted.
Worth tracking down right now as the three part series.
The DVD releases are never as good as the TV airings.
Charles, ever stubborn, remains MIA.
